I'm trying to cut the commercials out of a internet stream cap from ESPN3. I didn't think it would be this difficult as the commercial is not actually commercials, it's a black screen with an espn3 logo. Watching it through the gui debug, the black screen reading is ALWAYS less than 40. The actual game never falls below 50, I think. It detects the score between the teams as the logo and watching that in the debug window seems pretty accurate for the commercial detection as well judging buy the red in the bar at the top of the window. I've got the videoredo option checked and when I open it, I see where it detects some of the commercials starting points but not the end points. The black frame points in the log that register 34 are the start of the commercials.

ComSkip throttles back from -0001 to -0001.The time is now 0926 so it's full speed ahead!
